[BC] WOW RICH

[Robert Meuser]

I don't have info on Europe 1 but it was not that long ago they used a T.  I 
have done work at the Radio Luxembourg LW site. They also have a 4 in line 
array. It is quarter wave but they had make them unipoles because there was an 
issue with base insulators able to stand the power AND the mechanical load. That 
is probably why Europe 1 is only 60 deg sticks.

Got photos of both the Radio Luxembourg sites
